I am using a snapshot built downloaded for Redhat 6.2 about two
hours ago.
1. I am using the AbsoluteE Sawfish theme. This theme uses
a dark background and white text. However, though Evolution 0.9
is showing the dark background in both the message list and the
message compose windows, the text is being rendered in black.
It's barely legible. This is also true for the text shown in the
To:,
Cc:, Bcc: and Subject: inputboxes.
2. On a related note (to #1), the AbsoluteE theme uses a dark background
for toolbars, too. On the HTML formatting toolbar in the compose
window,
the toolbar buttons appear to be rendered with a black transparent
graphic.
This makes the toolbar button graphics almost impossible to make out.
Perhaps you need an algorithm for determining the whether a white or
black graphic will display the highest contrast (most usable) toolbar
buttons and then display the corresponding graphic. Other locations
where this is happening include:
Insert->Link->Text -- The textbox
3. Even though I have tried to not compose messages without using
HTML, the HTML toolbar stays visible and when I hit TAB, the
current line drops down and indents, so I think the link is being
turned into an HTML paragraph.
4. The Help->About box selection doesn't cause anything to be
displayed.
5. If I save a draft of a message and then double-click on the draft in
the
Drafts folder, the message opens in view mode, instead of edit mode.
If I want to edit the message for sending, I have to
right-mouse-click
and then select "Edit."
